The <strong>Way</strong> is all<strong>Way</strong>s marked — albeit sometimes more clearly than o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

―Over every mountain <strong>the</strong>re is a path,<br />

though it may not be seen from <strong>the</strong> valley.‖<br />

~ Theodore Roethke<br />

I thought this was amusing at first –<br />

a marker informing us that we still<br />

had almost <strong>the</strong> entire Path to go before<br />

attaining our goal … And <strong>the</strong>n I<br />

realized that many pilgrims walk <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Way</strong> from locations much far<strong>the</strong>r<br />

away than sou<strong>the</strong>rn France. I met one<br />

pilgrim who was walking to Santiago<br />

from Ireland and ano<strong>the</strong>r all <strong>the</strong> way<br />

from Jerusalem … Now <strong>the</strong>re is a<br />

healthy dose of Humility for you!<br />

―Some like to make a little garden out of life itself<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n walk down its path.‖<br />

~ inspired by Jean Anouilh<br />
